Pin It

Certain to appeal to collectors of the highly sought after Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle coin series, this extra-thick silver coin continues ancient minting traditions. Featuring:

  • Proof quality 99.99% pure silver
  • John M. Mercanti design 
  • Second Wedge-tailed Eagle proof piedfort coin
  • Limited mintage – 2,500
  • Australian legal tender
  • Presentation packaging
  • Certificate of Authenticity

Twice the weight and thickness of other coins of the same diameter, the piedfort originated in France during the 12th century. Revived by The Perth Mint in proof quality in 2018, the extra-thick coin is a fitting canvas for John M. Mercanti’s outstanding Wedge-tailed Eagle designs. Struck from 2oz of pure silver, this coin is a unique addition to a beloved Australian series characterised by meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional quality.

Masterful Design

The coin’s reverse depicts a magnificent wedge-tailed eagle in flight with wings fully extended and stylised rays of sunlight in the background. The design also includes the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’, the 2019 year-date, the weight and fineness and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. 

Presentation Packaging

Accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, each coin is housed in a textured grey display case and beautifully embossed shipper.
